with scarcely break during the entire
season has injured corn and potatoes

month ago was estimated ut about 20
per cent OF an average crop, has

At noon to-day Miss Kearney and three
other women entered street car in front
of the store. The car had gone only few
blocks when Staudacher drove up In his
buggy, requested the driver to stop, and
asked Miss Kearney to take a seat with

At Tenth street, seeing that Staudacher
was still following her, and being afraid

acher drove up in his buggy, got out, drew

Paola, Kan, June 22.-The Miami
court convened yesterday morning, and
testimony in the Newport case began. The
forenoon was consumed in the taking of
VIM. Vossen's testimony, after which
court adjourned for dinner. When the
time for the afternoon session had arrived
all the counsel for the State and defense
were present, and quite a stir was at once
inaugnrated among the attorneys. 1t wss
a long while before outsiders knew what
was in progress, and when it did come to
light il was found that the State had with
drawn the charge of murder in the
first degree in the first charge of the infor-
M alton, and the defendant was arraigned
for msnslaughter, as charged in the second
guilty, much to the surprise Of the crowded
court. The jury was at once discharged
from further sitting in the case. The PEN
atty on this charge is imprisonment In the
State Prison for at least FIVE years and not
more than twenty-one. Viewpoints ples of
guilty does away with the alibi of Lloyd
and himself, who were said to have been in
the Knights of Labor hall all night of the
wreck. The plea of guilty was much to
the satisfaction of counsel for the defense,
for Viewpoints statements to various Wyan
dotte citizens would be hard to meet and
could not be rebutted.
Gov. johnson remarked that il was no
trouble to rebut the testimony Of detect
i've, but il was q difficult matter to rebuff
the testimony of good many respectable
citizens of Wyandotte.
The counsel will all leave to-day for

ST, Louis, June 23.-Quite a commotion

during the progress of the festivities.
Shortly after 1880 Officer Thomas Dow

formed man sitting near the door that
he was wanted. The man addressed
turned deathly pale, but accompanied the
officer without q word. A
number of the guests sprang
to their feet to discover the cause of the
disturbance, but it all passed so quickly
that most of those present were unaware
that anything unusual had happened. The
patrol wagon was summoned and the pris-
oner convened to the Third District Station
where he gave bis name as Harry s. Buck

his possession bore the address of Howard

Brutal HOOdIums.

st. Louis, June 21.-Henry Miller, a
German, about so years of age, living at
300 South Main street, was turned out of
his home with his wife, yesterday after
noon, for non-payment of rent. He had
not been able to obtain employment for
some time past, and last evening the couple
wandered about the streets without penny
or any place to lay their heads. When it
grew dark they climbed up to the east
porch of the court house, at one end of
which they lay down, hoping to be able to
stay there for the night. About 1l:30 a
crowd of hoodlums, bent on mischief, ran
up the steps to the porch, and after
attacking man who was lying
near the entrance door, they were
about to strike the man Miller, when his
wife interceded with them "Ohl don't
hurt him, please, he's my husband !" she
cried. They gathered around the unfor-
tunate man and wife, and looked down at
them with evident amusement. One of
the roughs, however, must have been
moved, for he said to his fellows: "Let's
leave 'em alone !" but the others were bent
on sport, and began TO abuse the poor man,
and ended by kicking him, first in the side
and then in the face. Mrs. Miller was ter
ri6ed and screamed for Life, whereupon
the hoodlums fed. The mans green's,
mingled with his wife's crying, could be
heard block away. He soon became
quiet, however, and fell back unconscious
in his wife's arms, she sobbing, "Oh, my
husband, my poor husband, they have
killed hlm!' People on the street were
attracted to the spot, and an ambulance
was summoned, and the man was:relnoved
to the Dispensary.

"Puck" has the following account
of the first Henry George experiment
in America, and as it is pretty rich in
humor, it will bear reading.
Gin 1894, when Christopher Col
umbus landed on Cat island, the whole
region which we now know as the
United States was inhabited by saw
ages who did little In the was of ag-
riculture and great deal in the way
of hunting. They hunted wild game
and they hunted each other. They
were the original Henry Georgeites-
at least they had been putting the
George theories into practice for sever
al thousand years. They held their
land in common. They did not trouble
themselves about "unearned incre-
ments," because their was no incre-
ment of value, earned or unearned, to
be considered. The land was worth
nothing, and it earned nothing. All
the other George theories we're held
by these simple children of nature.
They had even the boycott, although
they did not know it by that name.
When two savages of different tribes
or district assemblies-quarreled over
a dead deer, they struck work and
fought it out to see which was the
"scab." 1t was generally, then as
now, the dead one. Then each tribe
declared q boycott against the other,
and the struggle ended in the annihi-
lation or the enforced migration OF
the weaker district assembly. La fact,
the George idea was most thoroughly
carried out in every particular, and
the parallel between the two civiliza,
tioas-the Indian red civilization and
the anarchical red civilization-may
be called almost perfect. The affairs
of each tribe were managed by walk
ING delegates, called chiefs, and then,
as now, the women did most of the
work."

MYSTERIOUSLY MURDERED.
A Young Girl Believed to Have
Been Killed for Solving
Away" Train
Robbers.

Austin, Tex, June 23.-Yesterday at 8
o'clock the colored driver of trash cart
made discovery while wandering around
in the chapparal which surrounds the city
cemetery, situated upon high hill in the
eastern suburbs. There In the thicket,
staring up at the sun, lay the body of q
young girl Who had evidently been dead
for hours. Her limbs were rigid, her shoes
were of and her stockings clean and white,
showing no signs Of having touched the
ground. Near her lay a box OF
trough on rats" nearly emotied.
She was dressed neatly and
plainly in q calico wrapper, and every
thing about her was scrupulously clean.
Her hair was slightly disordered, and her
face dark. Her features were extremely
regular and small. She was what would
have been called pretty. The body Was
removed tv the Office of g justice of the
peace and an extended examination was
made. The first impression was of suicide.
Further comparison of the surroundings
precluded the idea and murder was the
theory that followed. In the first place
her shoes were nowhere to be found. The
body and tne unsoiled and unrent state OF
her neatly darned stockings showed that
she had not walked through the tearing
brush. There is not on her face the least
sign of the distortion which follows arse
meal poisoning. Across either of her
wrists there is the d ark of heavy fingers,
showing q rough grasp, and on one of
them there is an abrasion, as is made by q
finger nail. There are no other marks up
on her body, but her lips show the foam
which follows strsngulation.
1t is the belief of every detective on the
force that she was smotbered with pillow
Or some similar substance while lying up
on a bed, and that her body was removed
to the chapparal for purposes of conceal
ment. 1t is also their theory that she il
the identical woman who gave to Marshal
Rankin the information which has Led to
recent srrests of suspected train robbers
and that she paid the penalty therefor to
some of the members of the gang now con-
cealed in this city. The body is lying
upon ice and has been visited by
crowds of people, no one of whom
has been able to give her name
The marshal is expected to arrive
tonight, when the mystery may be cleared
The face of the dead has been recognized
by many who say thst she lived in a por-
ton of the town infested by disreputable
characters, and that she has been seen upor
the streets with shady men. The case ha,
excited the most intense interest in tht
minds of people not easily excited by un'
usual crime.
